the 15.6 is my own 1/4 mile time. the 15.1 at 92.6 is also my time the 15.1 was at cayuga while the 15.6 i did at sparta... i felt the 15.6 wasnt bad cuz ZE guys couldnt break 15's plus i JUST swapped to standard so pretty much going from my 17.5 down to a 15.6 felt a lil quick lol.
and yea i have been ''anti KL'' as they just felt SOOOO slow.. just some s--- about them pisses me off alot.. lol

No worries fiero, I think a 15.1 is pretty good for DE. Especially if it actually is burning oil.

Regarding the interior, I had/have full interior, all I took out was the spare tire.

Since the 14.3 I have added thermal manifold spacers, hockey puck engine mount, ss autochrome headers (modified) and 2.5 ss all the way back from the headers, high flow cat/resonator. Oh, and I added a/c for comfort (and to add weight at the front to reduce wheel hoppies). No new et's at this point for me though.

Antwanx - get some of the boosted ze vids posted already. Some outside the car, in car whatever, just shoot some more footage for us all. And take it to the track.

Hey guys,
Its been awhile, Just wanted to post
I was down in kansas last summer with some freinds for the sy/ty nationals, and got to run 1/4's a few times on the track down there.
The car had 180 on the odometer and burned about a 1qt ever tank,
I ran consistant 16's with a few 15.8's
stock 1.8 k8 motor, with well a cheep intake filter and side exit exaust.
that was it. o yeah the clutch sliped consitantly through 2nd and 3rd gear.
and my 60ft times were pretty bad.
The air temps were pretty high, about 95-100.

It was fun and hering that those KLDE/ZE's are only running 15-14's
well it kind of disapoints me :shock:
though its prolly the ALT.

(hope it dosen't sound like I am ragging on anyone, cause I am not) :D
